Shrimp and Vegetable Pulao




Shrimp and vegetable pulao is a very simple and easy pulao. It is mild and less spicy but very delicious and aromatic. It is immensely easy as a lunch box recipe and also for potlucks. You will surely enjoy this easy pulao.


Ingredients

Basmathi Rice- 2 cups
Shrimp- 150 grams
Cut vegetables- 1 cup
Onion- 1
Green chilly- 2
Ginger- 1 inch peice
Garlic- 4
Red chilly - 1/3 tsp
Turmeric- 1/2 tsp
Fennel seeds- 1/2 tsp
Cinnamon- 1 stick
Cardamon- 2
cloves - 4
Lemon juice- 1 whole
salt to taste
cilantro leaves for garnish
Oil 2 tsp
Ghee- 1 tsp



Clean and marinate shrimp with salt, a pinch of turmeric and chilly powder and set aside.
Cut vegetables into small cubes. Here I have used carrots, green peas, beans and frozen corn.

Heat oil and ghee in a deep heavy skillet or a pressure cooker and add in the whole masalas and allow them to get roasted. Now add ginger and garlic and saute till the raw flavor disappears. Add in onions, salt and fry it till golden brown. Add the shrimp and turmeric powder and saute for another minute till it is half done. Finally add the vegetables and washed, drained rice and stir fry it till the rice get well coated with oil. Add 4+ 1/2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and close with a tight lid and cook the rice for 15- 20 minutes till the rice gets tender and the water is fully absorbed. (If using a  pressure cooker close and cook in high. After the first whistle lower the flame to medium and switch off after the second. Let it rest for 6-8 minutes before opening the lid). Pour in lemon juice and gently separate the rice by using a fork. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve hot.

Hope you will all enjoy.

  25. I've been looking for a good shrimp recipe to make for my mom, so this shrimp and vegetable pulao would be perfect for her. She's always loved shrimp, veggies, and rice, so this recipe would be something that she would like to eat when she visits me this weekend. I was wondering what made this rice look yellow when I saw that the recipe calls for turmeric. That spice would really add a kick to this recipe, so I should remember to add it in this dish.

Fish Fried Rice

This is a delicious and easy  fried rice made with fish. It is a healthy and quick lunch box fix. This is inspired by a Thai fish rice which I read in a magazine. The original recipe makes use of salted fish and chicken to make fried rice. But here I have used only fish (unsalted).The first time I tried this recipe I used stir fry method to cook fish and the result was somewhat scrambled fish. So to avoid it I  marinated the fish and fried it before combining with rice. You can also add carrots, cabbage,bok choy or any veggies of your choice. Ingredients Fish Boneless- 3/4 lb (I used King Fish) Cooked Rice- 3 cups Onion - 1 medium Spring onions - a little Capsicum - 1 cup Celery- 1/2 cup Soya sauce- 2 tsp Fish sauce- a few drops(optional) Chilly sauce- 1 tsp Oyster sauce- 1/2 tsp ( optional) Carrot- 1 small Ginger- 1inch thick Garlic- 3-4  pepper powder- 1/2  tsp corn starch- 1 tsp oil Cut fish into small pieces.
